I had the bright idea that maybe the reason why I didn’t like this tea the first time I tried it was because it was far too “candied ginger” and not enough “spices added to gingerbread to make yummy”. So I added a scoop of this to my steeper, and then added 4 cloves (tops removed and crushed with my fingers, bottoms whole) and a few pieces of crushed cinnamon quills (take a quill, crush about 1/2" of it and add coarse chunks to steeper). Maybe THAT will make this more palatable.

And you know what? It kind of worked. It was definitely better to me, but still far too ginger-y for my liking. I’ll try adding more of each next time, and perhaps some grated nutmeg. I’m leaving the rating the same since it doesn’t change the tea for me…the last thing I want is to buy a tea then have to buy a bunch of other ingredients to make it yummy. Too much effort.

I love tea. And I don’t mean like “I like to drink tea in the mornings”. I mean, I LOVE TEA. I also have an intense love for spreading the news that plants and fungi are the coolest groups of organisms on Earth. If you’d like to learn why I think so, you should visit my blog. I write about one cool plant or fungus every day.
